Dee Dee wins; she has gospel plus "Nawlins" in her music, no way you can go wrong with that; sounded like she had a personal acquaintance with the house. (authenticity).

Dee Dee is incredible.

I'm going to review records in my collection, and you'll be able to decide if they're worthy of your collection. These records are what I consider "must haves" for any jazz aficionado, and would be found in their collections. I wont review any record that's not on CD, nor will I review any record if the CD is markedly inferior. Fortunately, I only found 1 case where the CD was markedly inferior to the record.
Our first album is "Moanin" by Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers. We have Lee Morgan , trumpet; Benney Golson, tenor sax; Bobby Timmons, piano; Jymie merrit, bass; Art Blakey, drums.
The title tune "Moanin" is by Bobby Timmons, it conveys the emotion of the title like no other tune I've ever heard, even better than any words could ever convey. This music pictures a person whose down to his last nickel, and all he can do is "moan".
"Along Came Betty" is a tune by Benny Golson, it reminds me of a Betty I once knew. She was gorgeous with a jazzy personality, and she moved smooth and easy, just like this tune. Somebody find me a time machine! Maybe you knew a Betty.
While the rest of the music is just fine, those are my favorite tunes. Why don't you share your, "must have" jazz albums with us.
Enjoy the music.

I've got a lot of Nina Simone, and I fell in love with her music the very first time I heard it. She's so individualistic, that I never compared her to any other vocalist. Here are some of my favorites; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ynnb6ejdEz0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfQNdwgvJMw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VLqr_T04oMU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=139fXzrRjyc |
Nina Simone: All four, absolutely brilliant!!!! And all this time I thought Oscar Brown Jr owned "rags and Old Iron",. She took it to a new level. The 'Work Song' was almost like a lecture. Blackbird, with that bird flying was just awesome. Poignant. Her backing players are often times sparse, but always brilliant. Esp on rags and old iron. African Mailman was her just playing jazz piano. Great! Great Clips Cheers |
